Author:	Raven Software (Upload by Jonathan Dowland)
Description:	This is the source code of Heretic and Hexen by Raven Software, originally released in January 1999 under a restrictive EULA, and eventually re-released under the GNU Public Licence (GPL) version 2 in 2008. The original Raven site for the source code has gone away. The re-licensed software was uploaded to Source- Forge which is at risk of disappearing. This upload is to ensure the ongoing preservation of this historically important release, on a mirrored source, the accepted home of Doom/Heretic/Hexen-related stuff.
Credits:	James Haley and others in the Doom Community involved in getting the code re-licensed. See http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Raven_source_code_licensing for more information.

Description             : This is the source code of Heretic and Hexen by Raven
                          Software, originally released in January 1999 under a
                          restrictive EULA, and eventually re-released under the
                          GNU Public Licence (GPL) version 2 in 2008.

The original Raven site for the source code has gone
                          away. The re-licensed software was uploaded to Source-
                          Forge which is at risk of disappearing. This upload is
                          to ensure the ongoing preservation of this historically
                          important release, on a mirrored source, the accepted
                          home of Doom/Heretic/Hexen-related stuff.
